These mini caramel pecan cinnamon rolls are simple to make, only 6 ingredients and such a delicious breakfast or dessert!
A couple weeks ago I shared a recipe for mini cinnamon rolls using crescent rolls. Today I wanted to share another variation of that recipe with you. These mini caramel pecan cinnamon rolls are just as easy to make, but instead of an icing they have a caramel sauce and chopped pecans.

You’ll open up your can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and pinch together the seams. Pinch together your two squares to create a long rectangle of dough. Use a rolling pin to flatten out your dough and make sure all the seams stay sealed. Spread your melted butter over the top of your dough. Set aside for a moment.
Combine your brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Pour caramel into 9×9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the caramel. Combine your cinnamon and your brown sugar and sprinkle the mixture evenly over your butter all over your dough. Roll your dough up to make a long roll and cut into 16 slices. Put your 16 mini cinnamon rolls into your baking pan over your caramel. Place pan into your preheated oven and bake up. Flip pan over onto a dish when their done baking and allow caramel to rest on the top. Enjoy caramel pecan rolls nice and warm!
